yeah ....i figured it was just a scsi hd setup

they are really small...prob the size of a 3 1/2" ap2 drive with maybe an
inch and a half longer...room for a power supply (thin an small along
top...of unit...and a place to mount the 3.5" scsi drive and the internal
cable to the outside port and the switch..that is it

anyway i have a Chinook Ct-40 complete and an empty shell that looks the
same as the Ct-40..that one is a Ct-30 (empty)

anyone have the chinook version we are looking for that runs on a //c and
pics of internal board and/or install software?
if it is some kinda standard internal board and software combo (ie chinnook 
ap2c install disk or some such) might be interesting to look at or try to
figure out how it was done


The board is a unique design, with an onboard processor to convert from
smartport protocols to SCSI (or was it IDE?).  Somewhere packed away,
I have a non-functioning one that I've never got around to fixing.




Which I would love to see, if you wouldn't mind loaning it
to me. I have a great interest in doing something with the
IIc in regards to a smartport hard drive. I may even get
one made someday.  :o)


It's hidden away in some anonymous box--like Raiders of the
Lost Ark.  ;-(  I last saw it several years ago.

With any luck, someone here has one that works...
